In addition, it covers the optimization of planning methodologies and market design. The book argues that net load, ramping and volatility concerns associated with renewables call into question the validity of almost a century of planning approaches. Finally, it suggests that accounting for flexibility helps optimize the efficiency of the entire fleet of assets, minimizing costs and CO2 generation simultaneously, concluding that a flexible, independent backstop mechanism is needed, regardless of renewables or storage. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase studies provide a mix of hypothetical \"what if\" scenarios and analyses of real-life utility portfolios drawn from international examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Ferrari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128198737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128198735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Joe Ferrari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086382215423,"sku":"9780128198735","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e395593-5fd9-45e3-ae36-3ce708b98174.jpg?v=1769094352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/electric-utility-resource-planning-joe-ferrari-9780128198735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
